Kia Sorento Dashboard Light Guide

While driving around Jenkintown, Rydal, and Glenside, various icons may appear on the dashboard of your Kia Sorento. Some of these lights indicate that a system is activated, while others are a warning about an issue that needs your attention.

To help you understand what some of these icons represent and what to do if you see one illuminated, our team at Sussman Kia has put together this Kia Sorento dashboard light guide.

Warning Lights

Warning lights are extremely helpful because they can alert you to a malfunction or other problem you may otherwise not notice.

When you see one of these lights on in your Sorento, you will want to have the issue fixed as soon as possible.

Brake Fluid Warning Light: When there isn’t enough fluid in your braking system, you may see an exclamation point inside a circle light up on the dashboard. What you will want to do is check your brake fluid level and add fluid if needed. If the light remains on even after you fill your Sorento with brake fluid, you may have a leak. In this case, our technicians can help identify where the leak is coming from and fix it.

Engine Oil Pressure Warning Light: What looks like an old oil can dripping oil, this light is letting you know you are low on engine oil. This oil is crucial to the performance of your vehicle’s engine. This warning light may be telling you that your Kia Sorento is due for an oil change, which we can quickly do for you here at our service center.

Other warning lights include your Charging System Warning Light that looks like a battery and signifies that the battery or alternator needs to be replaced. There’s also the Low Tire Pressure Warning Light, which looks like an exclamation point inside a horseshoe and shows that one of your tires is underinflated and possibly leaking.

Indicator Lights

These lights keep you aware of systems that are engaged or turned off. These are helpful in keeping you informed about your current driving.

High Beam Indicator Light: When your high beams are on, this light that looks like a headlight will appear on your dashboard.

Front Fog Indicator Light: Similar to the high beam light, the front fog indicator light will stay on the dashboard of your Sorento when the fog lights are turned on.

Lane Keeping Assist Indicator: If your Sorento is equipped with the Lane Keeping Assist system, an icon with a car in between lane lines will illuminate on your dashboard. This is letting you know that the system in currently activated.
